Fig And Prosciutto Stuffing Recipes

ROASTED FIGS AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Snip the hard stems off the figs and cut the figs in half lengthwise through the stem. With a small sharp knife, cut the prosciutto lengthwise into inch-wide strips. Wrap a strip of prosciutto around the center of each fig half, with the ends overlapping. Brush with olive oil and arrange cut-side up on a sheet pan.
• Roast the figs for 10 minutes, until the prosciutto is a little crisp and the figs are warmed through. Serve warm.

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED FIGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
• Cut a small hole in the center of the flesh of each fig. Fill each hole with 1/4 teaspoon of goat cheese.
• Take a prosciutto slice and tear in half. Use 1 half to diagonally wrap around the fig, starting from the top. Tuck underneath at the ends. Repeat until all figs are wrapped. (Secure with toothpicks if necessary.) Place wrapped figs on prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced.
• In a small bowl, combine honey and pumpkin pie spice. Drizzle honey evenly over each fig.
• Place in the oven on the top rack and roast for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and serve immediately.

GREEK STUFFED PROSCIUTTO & FIG JAM PORK LOIN ROLL RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Lay the butterflied pork loin roast flat and season with kosher salt & fresh cracked black pepper. Spread an even layer of fig jam (I used about 3/4 of a jar) evenly over the pork loin roast, leaving about a 1-inch edge (to allow for rolling). Sprinkle the thinly sliced garlic on top. Reduce the garlic to one clove, if you don't want it to dominate the overall flavor-- 2 cloves is a lot! Add the prosciutto slices on top. Sprinkle or lay feta cheese on top. If you are using frozen, thawed spinach (which I did), be sure that it is squeezed very dry. You can use a tea towel or I use a potato ricer to do this job. Fresh spinach will make an even prettier presentation, if you have it. Carefully roll the pork loin and tie with kitchen string. In an ovenproof large and deep skillet, heat enough olive oil to lightly coat the skillet. Sear the roast for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until crispy and golden. Note: Once I did this, I allowed the meat and pan to cool and then set it, covered, in the refrigerator. The next evening, I brought this to room temperature for about an hour, and then proceeded to roasting. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Set the entire skillet into the oven and roast for about 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove the roast from the pan, loosely cover with foil and allow to rest for about 15 minutes. PAN SAUCE: On Medium-High, bring the drippings in the skillet to be very hot. Carefully add the Ruby Red Port Wine into the pan, scraping off the browned bits on the bottom. Add the chicken stock and allow the sauce to reduce to almost half (about 10 minutes or so). Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the unsalted butter. Taste and add more salt & pepper, if desired. TO PLATE: Remove the kitchen twine and slice roughly 1-inch thick. Drizzle the pan sauce around the pork and a little on top. Perfect side dish would be a nice Orzo, with a little olive oil or roasted asparagus.

• Remove the top sheet of plastic wrap and cover goat cheese with slices of prosciutto, slightly overlapping the edges. Cover prosciutto with a new sheet of plastic wrap and flip both sheets over so the goat cheese layer is now facing up.
• Remove top sheet of plastic wrap. Cover goat cheese evenly with figs, basil, and black pepper. Starting from the long edge, roll tightly to form a log. Wrap log in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

• In a small saucepan simmer the figs in the Port and the water with the sugar, covered, for 20 minutes and simmer the mixture, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced to about 1 tablespoon. In a food processor (preferably small) purée the fig mixture with the mustard and the lemon juice and transfer the spread to a small bowl. The fig spread may be made 1 week in advance, kept covered and chilled, and allowed to return to room temperature.
• Working with 1 prosciutto slice at a time, spread one side of each slice with 1/2 teaspoon of the fig spread, fold the slice lengthwise into a thin strip, and wrap it in a spiral around 1 of the breadsticks. The breadsticks should be wrapped no more than 30 minutes in advance.
